It's a good place to feel better about yourself when reading the crap other people are dealing with

I have so much work in front of me and everyone wanting it done right away. I cant be everywhere at once. Im tired and dont think i can take any time off for several more weeks

When it rains, it pours.

Remember back a few weeks ago when things weren't so busy.

Hang in there!

All along the watchtower Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl

I don't understand. If they already have a $15K over + $3K cash offer, then why pursue you?

Rex?

It is a bit odd, but....

Could be cleaner terms / dates, could be his agent connected with the seller's agent communicating desire / back-story, could be he submitted a letter to tug at the heart-strings....could be BS and they are leveraging buyers against each other to get the $$ up.

Bottom line, if Jacob is good with everything and would regret not getting the house with those terms, it's good that he is getting a 2nd chance at it. Sometimes I wished I had that 2nd chance to increase my offer/escalation clause, but my offers are an income mechanism and not a home to live in.

FWIW, I get homes and take offers sometimes with language around the inspection. When buying, we make it clear that my inspection is to determine if I will simply move forward and I do not have the intent to "nickel & dime" the seller, nor to use it as a negotiation tool. Occasionally, I find something big enough to allow the seller to decide if they would like to make a price reduction.

When I sell, I make it clear that we approach inspection toward health & safety and I don't tolerate buyers attempting to use it as a negotiation tool. The buyer's agent can be influential to which buyer I select.

Its simple really. There current owners are mass murderers and have evidence including body parts that could convict them. Having Jacob buy the house is the only way to go, knowing that it will burst into flames the second he signs all of the paperwork this destroying all evidence.

Or....it could be one of the things Rex mentioned.

Also, its actually been quite a while since Jacob caused spontaneous combustion. He has gotten a lot better.
